I think I've found THE dress...

So, I have been shopping only twice.  At the first store I went to, I found a dress that I loved.  I spent the most time in that dress at the store - all my girls loved it, my mom loved it, I loved it...but didn't cry and wasn't like "YES!  THIS IS IT!!!"  So, the next weekend I went shopping again and I constant compared every dress I tried on to the one everyone loved the previous weekend.  Now - I can't stop thinking about that dress.  I'm looking it up online, emailing to friends and asking their opinion, showing my co-workers, staring at it for hours...this is a sign, right?  that this dress is "the one"?! 

Here's the problem....it is over my price range.  Not WAY over, but still - over the highest I thought I would ever pay.  Then you add on taxes, shipping fees, alterations, etc, etc.

Anyways - just seeing if this has happened to anyone?  Has anyone tried on a dress above their price point and fell in love with it!? 

What should I do!?  I have about 1-2 months to keep shopping (not getting married until May 2001) but I have a feeling every dress I try on from here on out, I will compare it to this dress!!

Re: I think I've found THE dress...

  • If you know it's the dress, then others will pale in comparsion.  Are you sure you are not able to find it online (legit store or other website i.e., oncewed.com, preownedweddingdresses.com, etc)?  I say don't give up!  If you don't mind me asking who is the designer and what style? I am asking b/c the girls on this site are very resourceful.  Also, see if the store can take payments - that may help vs. paying it in full!
  • Maybe try to find it used?

  • Look for the dress you love and want. I would also check other bridal shops in your area or surrounding areas bc sometimes they offer sales if you pay in full (my shop did) and that help me save a few hundred bucks. My dress was a little more than I wanted to spend as well, but the discount helped. I don't regret spending a little more on it bc I absolutely love it and can't wait to wear it in 10 days!
